Happy Second Cake Day!

Today Payten turned 2!  My how time flies.  She was so excited last month when she went to Jayden’s birthday party especially after we explained to her that her birthday was next.  She is talking very well and we loved hearing her say, “It’s my Happy Cake Day!”  all month long.

So imagine her excitement when she realized today was actually her “Happy Cake Day!”

We went to the Dollar store and bought some Elmo birthday plates, cups and napkins.  ELMO is only her favorite person in the whole world!  She can’t say Elmo yet so she calls him “Me Me” in an effort to say Sesame.   Any way I decided to make her a Happy Cake Day banner…I’m not an artist so don’t laugh…she watched every move I made.  I was very happy when she shouted, “Me Me!  Me Me!”  At least she knew what I was trying to draw.

We were ready for her party by 2 pm.  Her party didn’t start until 4!  That was a long two hours for this little girl.  She spent most of that time sitting at the table waiting for her friends to arrive. 

Finally everyone arrived!

She got clothes with Elmo on them, Sesame street books, a purse, Dora back pack, more clothes, an Elmo doll, Elmo wash clothes, and a cute package of “Rella” shoes.  That’s Payten’s word for Cinderella.  The girl loves shoes. One Snow White Shoe and One Beauty & the Beast shoe…she had so much fun prancing all over the place and the best part was the sound they make on Grandma’s kitchen floor.

 It was so cute watching her blow out her candles! 

I am so thankful for this little girl.  Our family has always loved getting together to celebrate birthdays but now they have an even deeper meaning for us.  I am so grateful  for my grandchildren.  We are truly a blessed family.
